AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
Cheap Jerseys Online . -- Josh Smith saved
his only 3-pointers for when the Detroit Pistons needed them most. His first
started a 12-0 run midway through the fourth quarter that gave the Pistons the
lead for good and the next gave Detroit breathing room in its 116-111 win over
the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Greg Monroe matched his season-best with 28
points and had 14 rebounds to help Detroit end a three-game skid in a matchup of
the NBA Central Divisions worst two teams. Smith scored eight of his 26 during
the decisive run. "It kind of was a relief," Smith said of his first 3-pointer,
which got the Pistons within 98-95 with 5:2 left in the game. "I knew if I just
stepped into it and shot it with confidence we could make a push." He had a
3-point play later in the run and added his second 3-pointer and a subsequent
dunk with a minute to play to put the game away. Smith finished the fourth with
15 points and was 11 for 19 from the floor overall. "It seemed like every shot
he made in the fourth quarter was a big shot," Monroe said. "We obviously needed
him to kind of pull away." Brandon Knight had 25 points and Ramon Sessions added
20 and 11 assists for Milwaukee, which lost its 10th consecutive road game and
dropped the season series with the Pistons 3-1. The Bucks outscored the Pistons
13-6 in the final four minutes of the first half and took a 61-52 lead to
intermission. Detroit trailed by as many as 11 points early in the third but
took the lead with a 12-0 run before heading into the final period trailing
82-81. Andre Drummond had 10 points and 16 boards and Brandon Jennings added 20
points and 13 assists for Detroit, which won despite going to the line 21 times
to Milwaukees 36. "We just stopped doing the things that we did for
three-and-a-half quarters," Milwaukee coach Larry Drew said. "We took some tough
shots. We rushed a lot of quick shots around the basket and missed a lot of easy
ones." Drew was content with his teams job on Smith, who entered the game making
42 per cent of his field-goal tries. "I thought we did a good job from a game
strategy standpoint," Drew said. "We did what we were supposed to do. He just
started making shots." The Bucks got 12 points, 13 rebounds and a career-best
three blocks from centre Zaza Pachulia. They went almost five minutes without a
field goal late in the fourth quarter while Detroit made the decisive run.
Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo each added 14 points. Pistons coach
John Loyer was whistled for a technical foul midway through the third quarter.
Two nights earlier he was ejected from the Pistons 123-98 loss at Philadelphia.
NOTES: Drummond and Pachulia each were assessed technical fouls in the first
half for arguing calls. . The Bucks finished March 0-9 on the road. Their last
win away from home was Feb. 24 at Philadelphia. . Drummond had his Eastern
Conference-best 49th double-double. . Bucks G O.J. Mayo (right ankle) was in

get-to-know-the-team round up.TORONTO -- The Toronto Marlies leaders did
everything they could except win the game. Spencer Abbott and Trevor Smith
scored third-period goals erasing a 2-1 deficit giving Toronto a late 3-2 lead.
However, Nick Drazneovic scored with 12.9 seconds remaining to force overtime
and Andrew Ebbett scored the shootout winner as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins edged the Marlies 4-3 on Sunday afternoon. "A lot of credit goes to our
leadership group, the right things were being said in the dressing room and they
emptied their tanks to get us that point," said Marlies coach Steve Spott.
"Selfishly, youve got a five on six youd like to see us close out the game, but
give Wilkes-Barre some credit, theyre a veteran hockey club and they found a way
to get the extra point." Anton Zlobin and Scott Harrington had the other goals
for the Penguins (32-20-5), who won for the fourth time in 12 games. With the
win, the Penguins improved to 4-3-0 in their last seven against Toronto. Kenny
Ryan had the other goal for the Marlies (34-19-5), who picked up three of a
possible six points in a three-game, three day stretch over the weekend. "Three
out of six points is OK, but were coming down the stretch here, every point is
pretty important, we dont want a shootout loss to dictate our playoff standing,"
said Smith, who is battling a lower-back injury after being slew footed Friday
in Lake Erie. "Were going to take it in stride here tonight, but letting goals
in the last minute of play is unacceptable." Jeff Deslauriers made 31 saves in
the win while Torontos Drew MacIntyre stopped 32 shots. With their goaltender
pulled for an extra attacker, Drazenovic forced overtime by one timing an Ebbett
feed past MacIntyre. Smith gave Toronto its first lead of the game going
backhand, top corner on Deslauriers at 15:59 of the third. "I was looking to
pass to Leivo actually, he was there, he opened up for a one-timer," Smith said.
"Their d-man took it away and I was kind of all alone, was on the backhand so I
just tried to take it a little bitt wider and go upstairs.

player, but that was an NHL goal." Abbott evened it at 2-2 on a power play,
beating a screened Deslauriers for his 14th of the season at 10:56 of the third.
The goal stretches Abbotts point streak to three games. Zlobin gave the Penguins
their second lead of the game at 18:24 of the second poking home a loose puck
for his sixth of the season. Ryan tied it 1-1 at 3:16 shorthanded on a partial
break, beating Deslauriers blocker-side from the top of the faceoff circle. The
goal broke a five-game drought for Ryan. Jerry DAmigo extended his point streak
to six games with his assist on the goal. Moments later, Ebbett nearly gave the
Penguins their second lead of the game. But with MacIntyre down and out Ebbetts
shot hit the post. The Marlies outshot the Penguins 12-4 at one point of the
first period, but had nothing to show for it. Harrington opened the scoring at
17:59 of the first, beating MacIntyre from the faceoff dot. Smith, who spent 75
games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season, admitted to sharing tactical
information with his Marlies teammates prior to puck drop. "There were a couple
systems-wise things that I let the guys know," he said. "A little bit of special
teams that they have the tendency to do all the time. A couple little things
here and there that I tried to help us out." The two teams play for a second and
final time April 13 at Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Torontos next game is Friday when the
team visits Rochester. Notes: Marlies LW Jamie Devane missed the game serving a
one-game suspension as a result of receiving an instigator penalty during the
final five minutes of Saturdays 4-1 win over Lake Erie. Under rule 46.22 both
the Marlies and coach Steve Spott were also fined US$500 each. Devane picked up
four minor penalties, a major, a misconduct and a game misconduct for 33 minutes
in penalties in the win. The suspension is Devanes second this season. He missed
one game in November stemming from a boarding incident.
